The bar chart illustrates the amount of foreign aid given by six developed countries to developing nations from 2008 to 2010, measured in billion dollars.
Overall, it is clear that the USA donated the highest amount in all three years, while the Netherlands and Sweden provided the lowest figures. Most countries showed a small increase over the period, although there were some slight decreases.
In 2008, the USA gave about 21 billion dollars, and this figure increased steadily to around 25 billion in 2010. The UK also experienced a gradual rise, from approximately 9 billion in 2008 to nearly 13 billion in 2010. Germany and Japan had similar numbers, giving around 10 to 11 billion dollars each year, with only small fluctuations.
The Netherlands donated about 6 billion in 2008, which rose to almost 9 billion in 2009 before falling slightly in 2010. Sweden followed a similar pattern but ended with a lower amount, about 5 billion dollars in 2010.
